Using 13.7 fb-1 of data recorded by the CLEO detector at Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we report evidence of two new charmed baryons: one decaying into Ξc0′π+ with the subsequent decay Ξc0′→Ξc0γ, and its isospin partner decaying into Ξc+′π- followed by Ξc+′→Ξc+γ. We measure the following mass differences for the two states: Mc0γπ+)-Mc0)  =  318.2±1.3±2.9 MeV and Mc+γπ-)-Mc+)  =  324.0±1.3±3.0 MeV. We interpret these new states as the JP  =  1 / 2- Ξc1 particles, the charmed-strange analogs of the Λc1+(2593).
